Ukraine's desperation, Trump's deafening silence.

 RUSSIA, STILL NO RETALIATION

IS THIS THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM?

We have seen attacks deep into Russia, most likely a suicide mission by the personeel on the ground. We also see another attack on the Kursk bridge in Crimea and other bridges in Russia's borderland. So far, no military response from Russia, no clarification about who is running U.S. foreign policy, by Trump. Meanwhile, no ceasefire agreement from Russia, there will not be one, just the same steady eastward advance day after day.

We see Hegseth is not attending the big meeting in Brussels about Ukraine's need for more support, but will attend the NATO meeting on Thursday. Some clarification by the Trump administration is needed, silence will indicate he is no longer in charge of U.S. foreign policy, but most likely the same actors who have running the world for the last 3 decades. If that is the case, prepare for war.

We see dramatic declarations by Starmer in the UK that they are preparing for war. raising the army numbers form 74,000, to 76,000, a couple months worth of casualties in Ukraine. Expanding the youth or children corps by 30%, I suspect parents are standing in line to sign up their kids. This coupled with a list of new submarines, laser weapons and robots planned for the future, no mention of how the funding is going to be arranged. It appears to be the same kind of EU bluster that is all contingent on sucking the U.S. into a expanded war in Europe. A war that neither the EU or the U.S. is economically and politically capable of fighting. No matter, Russia needs to be beaten at any cost. 

The big NATO meeting is Thursday and it will be interesting to hear the same proclamations of supporting Ukraine for as long as it takes, much longer than originally expected. Calls for Ukraine in NATO and all the rest. all hoping for a miracle to turn to tide. 

How about retuning to reality and starting a conversation about co-existance and cooperation in moves toward peace. Russia seeks divorce, not conquest of Europe, Russia has no need for anything in Europe, just assurances that they no longer hope to dismember their country and make Russia a resource colony.
